U WE B (L1, C V ft o THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1943 NUMBER 12 VOLUME 6 Blair, Campbell Hickman and Durkee Win Close Election Race E R tz kj Signpost Names Anderson New Editor-in-Chief Clay Will Act as Managing Editor; Others Chosen for Staff Positions Include Jurgens, Mills, Wood, Blair, Peterson Signpost editors for next year were announced late Wednesday by Jean Anne Waterstradt, the present editor, and Mr. C. M. Nilsson, faculty representative. Before becoming official these appointments must be ratified by the board of control, the supreme governing body in Weber college student affairs, composed of students and faculty members. The staff was named as: Dee Anderson, editor-in-chief. Bonnie Clay, managing editor. Pat Jurgens, business manager. Shirley Mills, society editor. LaVor Wood, sports editor. Marian Blair, editorial assistant. Robert Peterson, feature editor and cartoonist. Positions remaining to be filled include a number of reportorial jobs, front page editor, the editorial page editor, photographer and business assistants. All persons appointed to the responsible positions named have had a great deal to do with the phenomenal success of the school paper during the past year, according to the faculty representative. Dee Anderson, editor-in-chief, said that in spite of the war waxing more intensive than ever next year and therefore interfering even more than it has this year, he planned to carry forward a consistently excellent publication. This, he haid, will be possible because he has inherited an interested, well trained staff from this year's Signpost. Anderson himself has been front page editor, and all the others have held important positions. After the first issue or two next year, Anderson said, there will probably be some juggling of responsibilities until all staff members find the work that suits them best. The program will, of course include getting the covetedall-Amer-ican rating again, but more than that it will include keeping the school 'very much alive during a time when it is threatened from every side. In the first staff meeting, held Wednesday, the staff and the adviser supported Anderson in this platform for the coming year. Other matters taken up were the forming of a budget for 1943-44. Transit, Weber college literary magazine and yearbook, has not yet announced its staff because of the change of advisers necessitated by Mr. Ray West's going on leave next year. Mr. West has not been tojd yet who his successor will be and so has had no chance to confer on the staff. Amendments Pass By Big Margin Two amendments to the student body constitution were voted upon and passed in conjunction with the regular student body elections last Monday. The first amendment says that the position of business manager of the student body shall be an elective position to be filled in accordance with election procedure outlined in the constitution. It was passed with a vote of 147 positive tjo 13 negative ballots. Heretofore the position of business manager has been appointive. The second amendment repeals i the amendment voted upon last year requiring that two quarters or the equivalent of college accounting shall be an item of consideration in determining the eligibility of candidates for the position of treasurer of the student body. This amendment was passed with a vote of 122 to 38. The prerequisite of accounting for a candidate for the office of treasurer is no longer essential because the state auditor ruled last summer that the bookkeeping be done by a professional bookkeeper. College Awards Scolarships to Hi School Grads High school graduates who will receive scholarships to Weber college next year have been chosen, Mrs. Clarisse H. Hall, registrar, announced Tuesday. Weber college annually allows several tuition scholarships to the high schools in this community. Outstanding students are then chosen by the scholarship committees in the respective high schools for the awards. Those who have been selected this year are Davis high, Connie Evans and Marianne Hickenloop-er; Morgan high, Kay Thomson; and Ogden high, Nellie June Farns-worth, Lorna Grix, LouJean Scof-field, Ray Thorsted, Madelyn Hil-lis, and Marian Kristofferson with Lucille Larsen, Evelyn Tcuscher, Faye MrLatchie, Marama Holmes, Bonnie Taylor, and Marian Wat-kins as alternates Journalist . . DEE ANDERSON . . . Newly-appointed editor-in-chief of the Signpost. Geologists Explore Canyon By LOWE ROTEN Last Thursday Mr, Buss' geology class took a long planned for field trip into Ogden canyon. The students met at the West Central building, and since cars had gotten the vote over "shanks' horses" they waited until Barbara Nelson arrived with her Packard. Then, piling into it and Mr. Buss' station wagon, they were off. The would-be geologists were all in high spirits at the first stop at the mouth of the canyon and didn't even mind listening while Mr. Buss explained the structure of Ben Lomond. Further on, Harold Thompson, with the soul of a true nature lover and the selfless purpose of research for the enlightenment of his fellow-man and the geology class, explored a tunnel in a hill of rock. When the rest of the class had nearly finished the business at hand at testing the angle of the rock strat, Thompson emerged from the other side of the hill with that satisfied look of all great explorers on his face and the formation (truly startling to the rest of the class) that the tunnel extended completely through the hill. He had observed further that as his clothes had become slightly damp, that there was some water in the tunnel. Mr. Buss solved the mystery with this valuable clue and some fore-acquired knowledge. He explained that the tunnel was dug for the city water pipe and that the pipe had at one time extended through it. By the next stop, what with having had to get in and out of the cars several times, the students were quite fatigued, and interest lagged. Upon reaching the head of the dam, they turned to retrace their steps back to civilization However, they answered the call of science long enough to stop once more and analyze the rocks at the Hermitage. After drinking life-saving Dr. Peppers in this oasis, the students regained their strength long enough to return to the autos and home again. Library Adopts New System Taking advantage of this comparatively slack year the library department, under the direction of Miss Eva Browning, assisted by Miss Wilma Grose and student librarians, has been working out a new plan for checking books in preparation for the years when hundreds of students will again inhabit the campus and need the library. This new system will enable the librarian to check out books in less time and more accurately. It will be ready for operation when school opens in the fall. Five hundred dollars worth of new books are expected this week. They are books of all types to fit the need of all students. Here Are Your Choices for 1943-44 Student Body Officers . . . JUNIOR BLAIR ...

Pre-Meds Can Qualify Pre-medical students who aren't members of the reserve corps will have a chance to qualify for the army specialized training program, providing they pass the army general classification test above a score of 115.

Two hundred and fifty army, navy and civilian pilots have received instruction. The programs of vocational education at Weber college include courses to develop broad trade skills which last for a full year's time, specialized unit skill courses which take about three months training, in-plant training whereby workers may be trained in any occupation in the plant on the job with an instructor from the college, and supervisor training for the industrial foremen who have had no other chance for learning the principles of teaching other workers. Two new equipment appropriations for equipment for the vocational department have been made by the government. These bring the total of expenditures for equipment at Weber college alone to $200,000. Geography Pupils Take Excursion To Timpanogas Mrf Buss' geography of Utah class took a day's excursion to Timpanogos cave on Wednesday, May 22. About 20 students left in the wee hours of the morning. Lunches were packed to meet the exigency of hunger that comes so quickly on such a trip. The cave did not disappoint anyone, although only a few had been there before and all hopes were built high. Wealthy Purrington was pleased to find that it was "a limestone cave with stalagmites and stalactites caused by evaporation of limestone saturated water which has percolated down through limestone mountains of the Timpanogos region," just as she had predicted. The group came back by way of Provo canyon, pausing here and there to collect botany specimens and note the geological structure of the mountains.

It is sponsored by the war manpower commission which, through the Training Within Industry program, prepares the trainees for the course. These people in turn train supervisors and foremen for defense industries, through the U. S. office of education, the state department of vocational training, and Weber college. The objective of the program is how to get a man to do a job correctly, quickly, and conscientiously. 'If the worker hasn't learned, the instructor hasn't taught" is the motto of the trainees.Those at Weber college who have taken the trainer course are President Henry Aldous Dixon, Dr. Robert A Clarke, Mrs. Mary Brown, and Mr. Peterson. Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Brown are now conducting these classes at the naval supply depot, where they have trained approximately 200 supervisors and foremen since the first of the year. "The program is very popular with people of industry who haven't had the opportunity for receiving specialized instructor training." Mr. Peterson explained. A group of college instructors who became interested in the course have found their teaching improved by the clan's which was conducted for them by Dr. I. .S. Noll, director of vocational aduca-tion at Salt Lake City. lotace . . .

Wealthy Purrington was pleased to find that it was "a limestone cave with stalagmites and stalactites caused by evaporation of limestone saturated water which has percolated down through limestone mountains of the Timpanogos region," just as she had predicted. The group came back by way of Provo canyon, pausing here and there to collect botany specimens and note the geological structure of the mountains.

Training Program Sells Itself, Says Peterson The job instructor training program at Weber is a course that sells itself, according to Mr. Lorenzo Peterson, vocalist instructor. It is sponsored by the war manpower commission which, through the Training Within Industry program, prepares the trainees for the course. These people in turn train supervisors and foremen for defense industries, through the U. S. office of education, the state department of vocational training, and Weber college. The objective of the program is how to get a man to do a job correctly, quickly, and conscientiously. 'If the worker hasn't learned, the instructor hasn't taught" is the motto of the trainees.Those at Weber college who have taken the trainer course are President Henry Aldous Dixon, Dr. Robert A Clarke, Mrs. Mary Brown, and Mr. Peterson. Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Brown are now conducting these classes at the naval supply depot, where they have trained approximately 200 supervisors and foremen since the first of the year. "The program is very popular with people of industry who haven't had the opportunity for receiving specialized instructor training." Mr. Peterson explained. A group of college instructors who became interested in the course have found their teaching improved by the clan's which was conducted for them by Dr. I. .S. Noll, director of vocational aduca-tion at Salt Lake City. lotace . . .
